About: Your dog gets a half-acre fenced yard on two acres, and a gate that opens straight onto open space and trail. No loading up in a car to find a walk, we step out the door and go. For a big dog with a real engine, that’s the whole difference. I have two labs of my own, a male and a female, both social and easy, so your dog has company and a pack to fall into rather than a crate and a quiet house. I’ve been boarding for friends and neighbors for 10, and I know what a bored 70-pound dog does to a living room, which is why exercise comes first here, not as a bonus. Good fit for: large breeds, working and sporting dogs, adolescents with too much energy, dogs who don’t do well kenneled. Not a good fit for: dogs who can’t be around other dogs, or who need to be kept separate. I’d rather say that up front than have anyone spend a bad weekend. I also offer dog walking and drop-in visits for locals who’d rather keep their dog at home. Same approach, a walk here means actual miles on real terrain, not fifteen minutes on pavement. Daily photos and a note, usually from somewhere on the trail. I work from home, so dogs aren’t alone for long stretches, I’m here through the day and the routine is built around that. Mornings start with a walk on the trail behind the house before I sit down to work. I leave the doors open so that dogs are able to go in and out of the fenced yard through the day while I’m at my desk, with a midday break for a longer outing. Late afternoon is the real hike, when my two labs go out and your dog goes with them. Evenings are quiet, everyone’s tired by then, which is the point. I do take calls during the day, so there are stretches where I’m at my desk rather than actively playing, but the dogs are with me, not shut away. Weekends are more of the same with longer hikes and no calls Containment: My yard is a half-acre fully fenced, on two acres backing to open space. Gates stay latched and I check them before any dog goes out. Dogs are never off-leash on the open space unless the owner has confirmed reliable recall and I’ve seen it myself on a long line first, otherwise we hike on leash, every time. In the house: Dogs are loose in the main living area with me and my two labs, not confined to a garage or basement. I have crates available if your dog is crate-trained or you’d prefer it, and I’m happy to keep whatever routine they already have. New dogs and mine are introduced outside on neutral ground before anyone comes in the house. Requirements: Up to date on rabies, distemper/parvo, and bordetella. I ask for your vet’s contact and a backup person who can make decisions if I can’t reach you. Wildlife: We’re in the foothills, so coyotes, bears, and mountain lions are part of the landscape. Dogs go out into the fenced yard supervised, not unattended, and I don’t leave food or water bowls outside. Nobody is out in the yard alone at dawn or dusk. If something goes wrong: I’ll call you first, but I won’t wait on a callback to get a dog treated. My work is in wildfire and emergency planning, so I keep an evacuation plan for my own dogs including crates, leashes, records, and a go-bag ready and any boarding dog is included in it if there is an emergency.
“Melina took such good care of our cats while we were out of town for a few days. We have one cat who is on several medications and Melina managed them seamlessly. This made traveling less stressful for us, knowing the fur babies were in safe and capable hands. We will be using Melina again!!”
“Hannah took great care of our cat while we were away for the weekend. She made sure he was fed, brushed and played with. We came back to a happy, well cared for kitty!”
About: I had the privilege of working at a state-of-the-art cat rescue (Cat Depot in Sarasota, Florida) for three years before recently beginning my career in water treatment. During that time, I was part of a team that helped get over three thousand cats adopted, four of which came home with me! I also have experience from cat-sitting for friends and family members for several years. I promise to provide the same high standard of care for your cats that I do my own ❤️ I only work 15 days out of the month which allows me to dedicate many of my days off to pet care. On days that I do work, I am also available after 6pm. My drop-ins include feeding, scooping litter boxes, refreshing water, playing and/or chilling together, and sending photos. I am also experienced in administering oral medication to willing cats.
“Thank you so much for watching Greg over the holidays! You really went above and beyond making sure Greg was cared for. I can't tell you how much I appreciate that you brought him toys and a treat on Christmas!”
About: Here’s a full “About Me” style experience section covering everything: I’ve been around animals my whole life – cats and dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. On the dog side, I’ve spent time with Great Pyrenees, so I know what it means to care for a gentle giant who needs space, steady handling, and someone who isn’t intimidated by the size. I’ve also worked with high-energy breeds like Corgis who need real engagement, and small but mighty dogs like Chihuahuas who have opinions and aren’t shy about sharing them. Whether your dog wants to burn off steam on a long walk or curl up and not move for two hours, I match their energy – not the other way around. With cats, I’ve handled the full spectrum – chaotic kittens who need supervision and stimulation, seniors who want quiet company and a predictable routine, and multi-cat households where keeping the peace is its own skill set. Every animal is different. My job is to figure out what yours needs and deliver that – not a generic visit, but one that actually fits them. I am working part time from home so I have tons of time everyday to spend with your furry friends. I do a few big walks a day and would love your pets to tag along. I have a big back yard and lots of space to keep your furry friend occupied. I also love taking long walks with your friends.
“Destiny is a fantastic and reliable sitter! She took care of our two cats while we were gone for a week. She sent as many pictures / videos as we wanted and stayed the night with the cats at our request. We will definitely be using Destiny in the future!”

About: I’m a big animal lover and dog mom myself, so I know how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pet. I’m calm, reliable, and always do my best to make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. Whether that means long walks, sticking to a routine, or just hanging out and keeping them company, I’ve got it covered. I treat every pet like my own and always aim to make the experience stress-free for both of you. Pet care fits into my routine pretty naturally — it’s something I genuinely enjoy and make time for. I’m active, love being outside, and spending time with animals is one of the best parts of my day. Whether it’s a quick check-in or a longer stay, I’m happy to work around what your pet needs and keep things easy and comfortable for them. I only care for pets in their own home, where they’re most comfortable and everything smells and feels familiar to them. I do my best to stick to their usual routine — whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, meds, or just keeping them company. I’m respectful of your space and always make sure things are clean, calm, and just how you left them. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible for both you and your pet.

“Camryn was very helpful and knowing that she was taking care of my pets gave me peace of mind when I was out of town. I’d definitely use her services again in the future!”
“This was the first time I’ve used Rover, and was happy I did. Marianne made it very easy to feel secure in my choice for a pet companion. She was great! She arrived when she said she would, follow my requests and loved on my Diablo. My other cat who is not social and prefers to hide came out to say hello to Marianne. I was really happy to see the photos and communications she sent.”
About: I have been pet and housesitting for 18 years since neighbors began hiring me to care for their pets and homes while they were out of town. I do not have pets of my own, so I continue to get joy out out of walking & caring for other’s pets. I have great experience with puppies and senior dogs, including administering medication when needed. I strive to care for your pets as if they were my own to give you peace of mind in knowing your friendly companion is in good hands.

I care for your pets as if they were my own in order to ensure your pet’s routine is not changing when I step in to help. I want them to be comfortable and at home and take pride in following specific instructions to offer the best care for your pets.
“Love Ezra!!! This was my second time having him watch Loki, and it was great again! He is very responsive and reassuring. My cat needs lots and lots of play time, and Ezra made sure that was accommodated. I also appreciate all the photos he sends of what Loki is up to while I’m gone! It’s always hard to leave your pets, but it makes it so much easier knowing they’re in good hands :)”

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
